A Simple Breathing Meditation For Peace & Connection

Today, I want to share an easy breathing meditation that you can do anywhere to reach deep states of inner peace and release any tension you are feeling.

In the video below, Taoist abbot Pedram Shojai shows us an ancient Buddhist practice called Four Count Breathing. Pedram teaches that we humans are always just a few intentional breaths away from being connected with the source of all life – no matter what circumstances we face. This personal tool will show you how to get there.

If you want more from Pedram, he is currently sharing a free online event called the Urban Monk 7-Day Reboot that you can access here:

Thank you so much. I’m 67 and I think I’m just beginning to learn how to meditate from people such as yourself, Sharon Salzberg, and a few others in a way that I can stick with it, really enjoy it, and truly benefit from it. Better late than never! Perhaps it has something to do with the old saying that “when the student is ready, the teacher(s) will come”. Much appreciation and peace to you!

This seems like it would be such a wonderful technique. I find that, when sitting up straight, I cannot breath into my abdomen. As I keep trying, I get short of breath & have to do catch-up chest breathing! I am wondering what I might try to help this. I use abdominal breathing when I have trouble falling asleep in bed & am able to do it then successfully. However, when sitting up straight, just can’t get a full breath abdominally! Thanks for any advice!

Thank you soooo much for this so easy doing exercise of meditation with a great value for everyone who does it and thank you so much for your wounderful conversation. Our world needs more souls like yours! Bless you!
